Do plant traits influence primary succession patterns for bryophytes and vascular plants? Evidence from a 33‐year chronosequence on bare chalk Open
During primary succession, the abundance of different species and their associated plant traits change over time. Understanding how plant traits linked to colonising and competitive abilities change through succession is important for dete…

Correlated biodiversity change between plant and insect assemblages resurveyed after 80 years across a dynamic habitat mosaic Open
Historical data on co‐occurring taxa are extremely rare. As such, the extent to which distinct co‐occurring taxa experience similar long‐term patterns in species richness and compositional change (e.g., when exposed to a changing environme…

Historical data reveal contrasting habitat amount relationships with plant biodiversity Open
Assessing habitat loss effects on biodiversity is a major focus of ecological research. The relationship between habitat amount and biodiversity, postulated in the habitat amount hypothesis, is usually assessed at one point in time, which …

Inconsistent detection of extinction debts using different methods Open
The extinction debt, delayed species extinctions following landscape degradation, is a widely discussed concept. But a consensus about the prevalence of extinctions debts is hindered by a multiplicity of methods and a lack of comparisons a…

Long-term change in calcareous grassland vegetation and drivers over three time periods between 1970 and 2016 Open
Analysis of long-term vegetation change is limited. Furthermore most studies evaluating change only examine two snapshots in time, which makes it difficult to define rates of change and accurately assess potential drivers. To assess long-t…
